Hold onto your sports betting tickets and throw on your A’ja Wilson jersey because guess who’s back? The Las Vegas Aces, winner of the first major championship for the city of Las Vegas. Sin City’s finest are making their grand return to the WNBA finals, and if you’re not already on this hype train, I don’t know what you’re waiting for.
The Aces are the defending WNBA champions, led by 2022 MVP A’ja Wilson, and are appearing in their third Finals in the past four years. The Liberty, led by 2023 MVP Breanna Stewart, will play for the WNBA title for the fifth time.
Listen, I’m not one to brag early on, but slowly but surely Las Vegas is starting to become the City of Champions. With the Aces winning last year, having a chance to win this season, and the Golden Knights winning last season as well – Vegas is starting to become a dominate city for our teams. Let’s just ignore anything NFL/NCAA football related for the time being.
To add on to the excitement, the undisputed Greatest Champion, Quarterback, Patriots player of all time, Tom Brady, is now co-owner of the Las Vegas Aces. Its almost like he can just sense where greatness is at all times.
The best-of-five series opens Sunday at Las Vegas’ Michelob Ultra Arena (3 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN App). The Aces will host Games 1, 2 and, if necessary, 5.
